Boualem Bousseloub was born in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria in North Africa, where he grew up speaking three languages, but not English. The eldest of seven children, he learned a great deal by being responsible for his younger siblings when outside the house. That launched a lifelong interest in youth, which included serving in Algeria as head of a Statewide Study on Youth and as a member of the National Youth Commission. In the US he is active in the promotion of educational programs for young and adults. His walks in the canyons of the Arroyo around the Rose Bowl marked by abundant sightings of cottontails were an inspiration for this story. He is an alumnus of the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium. He currently resides in Pasadena, California with his wife Sharon, after living in Algiers, Paris, Albi, Bruges and Sacramento.
